Basic Bezier Curve Renderer using OpenGL

This repository showcases a basic implementation of rendering a Bezier curve using OpenGL. It serves as an introductory project into OpenGL, covering fundamental OpenGL functions, GLFW for window creation, GLAD for OpenGL loading, and a CMake configuration for project setup.

Features

• Bezier Curve Rendering: Demonstrates the rendering of a simple Bezier curve using OpenGL.
• OpenGL Fundamentals: Utilizes essential OpenGL functions for rendering graphics.
• GLFW Window Management: Implements GLFW for creating and managing the rendering window.
• GLAD Integration: Uses GLAD to handle OpenGL loading and extensions.
• CMake Build Configuration: Includes a CMake file for project compilation and configuration.

Setup

• GLFW: This is to generate the window. My goal is to learn OpenGL and not waste time one genrating windows therefor this library comes in handy.
• GLAD: This is to load the opengl from drivers.
• Guide to setup both on windows and linux
• Additional Linux command

  sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev

Basic Bezier Curves

• Description: Implementation of basic Bezier curves using OpenGL.

• How to use:

  • Provide Order and control points
  • Render Bezier curves.

• Example:

  • Use order 3 and following control points to get sin wave
  • Stating Point = (0.0 , 0.0) , End Point = (1.0, 0.0)
  • Mid Points: (0.25, 1.0 ), (0.75, 1.0)
  • This will genarate the following:

• Try you self:

  • Use following Point to get the plot shown: (0.0, 0.3), (0.1, 0.5), (0.3, -0.1), (0.4, 0.0) with order 3.

  

This repository serves as a living documentation of my journey into HPC using OpenGL. I choose to learn OpenGL first to get a general idea of how computations are performed by GPUs. As my understanding grows, I will learn advanced languages such as MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, etc.
